Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.

And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:

And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.

And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.

For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.

Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.

And he spake this parable unto them, saying,

And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.

And he said, A certain man had two sons:

And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.

And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!

And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.

And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.

And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:

Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.

And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.

And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:

And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.

And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.

And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.

And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)

And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.

For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:

Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.

While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.

And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.

For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:

And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.

As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.

Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
